subsequent IEP addendums, most recent multiple measures results, latest report card, and progress toward goals report) to each teacher in a rubber banded package. Another LEA provided a notebook for each teacher that included copies of complete IEPs for children assigned to their caseload during ESY. • Progress Monitoring Pre-post assessment measures and/or progress reports may be employed to evaluate children’s progress during the ESY instructional program. By working closely with the Educational Services personnel, it may be possible for children with disabilities to take the same evaluation measure as other children, with or without accommodations or modifications, or alternative measure(s) may need to be identified. Selecting the measure(s) and clearly communicating with staff members how and when to administer these are also important considerations in planning for successful programs. Similarly, the same progress report form and/or a special education progress toward goals report form may be used. Close communication between the Charter LEA office ESY administrative and support staff members, site administrators, and teachers can alleviate many potential problems in this area. Keeping everyone aware of the plans also makes it possible for anyone to answer questions that arise from parents. Providing clear direction to teachers on expectations for completing pre-post assessments and/or progress reporting is also critical. If formal report cards and/or grades will be reported for credits, this information needs to go to the site administrator, counselor, and/or Registrar. Staff members should also be advised on what to do with the student information once the session is over. To Parents Since parents typically complete the ESY Registration Form many weeks before the start of the summer program, it is important to send a “just prior” letter out to them, including the dates of ESY, location of services, hours of operation, name of teacher, classroom room number, information about transportation (if applicable), and contact telephone number.
